The Internet lit up last week with reports that designer Mike Lubrano had designed a yellow taxi cab in the style of a DeLorean, but Michael J. Fox, who made the DeLorean famous didn’t hear the news until Monday night.

“Will it take you back to Greenwich Village in 1992?” Fox wondered.

The conceptual cab was modeled after the DeLorean in the “Back to the Future” series, Fox’s biggest hit. Despite New York City’s collective hope, the car isn’t hitting the streets any time soon.

You may have heard there is a DeLorean taxi running around New York. But you shouldn’t count on hailing it anytime soon. The car is the product of photo manipulation that sprung from a student advertising-design competition.

Designer Mike Lubrano was behind the cab concept. He said the car, which looks like the “Back to the Future” movie vehicle painted yellow, “exists nowhere outside my photoshop files and the jpgs that are circulating around the internet these days.”
